Lippert finished with a game-high 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc, including 6-of-8 performance after the break. It was Lippert's 12th career 20-point performance as she also added eight rebounds and two assists while playing only 23 minutes.

Christine Clark chipped in 13 points and recorded game-highs in rebounds (8) and assists (4). Temi Fagbenle notched nine points and Ali Curtis turned in eight. Harvard (5-2) shot just 38.6 percent for the game but went 7-of-18 from deep and 12-of-13 at the line.

What a Start
Harvard is off to a 5-2 start for just the ninth time in program history and the first time since 2004-05. A win Saturday at Hofstra would improve the Crimson to 6-2, marking just the fourth time that Harvard has begun a season at 6-2 or better. The last time Harvard began 6-2 or better was 1997-98 when the squad was 8-1 through nine games en route to winning the Ivy League championship with a 23-5 overall record and a 12-2 mark in the Ancient Eight.

Shut 'Em Down
Harvard held New Hampshire to a season-low 44 points on Nov. 28, marking the first time an opponent has scored fewer than 50 points against the Crimson since Umass (47) and TCU (44) did so in back-to-back games in January of last year.

Cleaning the Glass
The Crimson outrebounded New Hampshire 44-27 on Nov. 28, marking the team's largest rebounding margin (+15) since March 2, 2012 when it owned a 55-32 advantage on the glass in an 88-64 win over Columbia. Harvard has outrebounded its opponents in four games this season and is a perfect 4-0 when doing so.

Balling
Junior Christine Clark was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Nov. 26, marking her seventh career weekly honor from the conference. Clark averaged 21.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 2.7 apg in a 2-1 week for the Crimson, and turned in back-to-back 20-point performances at Holy Cross and Michigan. The honor marked Clark's fourth career player of the week accolade after being named rookie of the week three times in 2009-10.

#MaudeCantMiss
Senior co-captain Emma Golen has connected on 16-of-24 three-point attempts to start the season and entered the week ranked second in the NCAA in three-point shooting percentage.

At The Line
Christine Clark leads the nation with a perfect 23-of-23 performance at the line and has hit 43 of her last 44 attempts dating back to last season. Victoria Lippert, meanwhile, is 16-of-17 at the charity stripe this season and 33 for her last 34.

Harvard is shooting an Ivy League-best 81.6 percent at the line and entered the week ranked ninth in the NCAA.

Sharp Shooting
Harvard currently leads the Ivy League in both field-goal percentage (46.1) and three-point percentage (43.9), and entered the week ranked 16th in the NCAA in field-goal percentage and second in three-point percentage. Harvard last led the league in both categories in 2008-09 when it connected on 43.8 percent of its attempts from the floor and 33.8 percent of its attempts from deep.

Leader of the Pack
Junior Christine Clark led Harvard in scoring in each of its first six games, becoming the first Crimson student-athlete to do so since Hannah Peltjo '04 led the team in six straight contests to open the 2002-03 campaign. Peltjo went on to average 21.3 ppg for the season, the fourth-highest total in program history, and was named the Ivy League Player of the Year.

Allison Feaster '98 owns the program record for consecutive games led in scoring at 17, 16 of which came to open the 1997-98 campaign. Feaster led the team in scoring in 25 of 26 games that year, averaging an Ancient Eight record 28.5 ppg en route to her third straight Ivy League Player of the Year honor.

And the Award Goes To...
Harvard has picked up an Ivy League award in each of the season's first three weeks. The Crimson earned a total of five weekly honors from the conference last year split between Brogan Berry and Christine Clark, and in 2010-11 Harvard took home six awards split between Berry, Clark and Victoria Lippert.

Club 1,000
Senior Victoria Lippert became the 17th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club last year and currently ranks 12th in program history with 1,190 points. Junior Christine Clark is on pace to become the next Crimson to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau as she has recorded 923 points through two-plus seasons.

Including this year, Harvard has had at least one 1,000 point scorer on the floor in four of the last five seasons. Additionally, each of Harvard's 17 1,000 point scorers have been coached by head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith.

It's Up, and It's Good
Harvard has made at least one three-point field goal in 105 consecutive games dating back to 2008-09, the second longest streak in program history.

Fabulous Fagbenle
Sophomore Temi Fagbenle was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Nov. 12 after averaging 12.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.0 apg and 2.5 bpg in the first two games of her career.
